Ectopsocus sp., most likely E. briggsi (Ectopsocidae).

Thanks Paul
I have sent this one off to Bob Saville for his opinion, and looking through the Barkfly Website, this looks more like E.petersi as the wing markings extend around the wingtips at the end of the veins in E.petersi but not in E.briggsi. Might be wrong though.
